After yesterday’s multitude of patterned paper Christmas cards I thought today I’d go with something more clean and simple. Actually, I was working on another batch of patterned paper cards, but knew I wouldn’t be able to get the batch finished and photographed in time to share today. So this is what I came up … More CAS Reindeer | Christmas Card

How you chose to incorporate that theme into your project is entirely up to you, so long as what you make is christmassy and has flowers as a focal element … More Christmas Craft Creations | Merriest Christmas | Christmas Flowers
Our new challenge at Christmas at Sweet Stampin’ started this morning. (Sorry for being late sharing my project!) Our theme for the May challenge is anything Christmas goes with the optional twist of including snowflakes.

I’m here to share my third card featuring a new release image from Mari Ko. The mid-November release is full of adorable images. You can find the first card here and the second here. This time I decided to keep things simple and let the stamp really take centre stage on the card.
It’s time for another Merry Monday! This week Nina is setting the challenge, and she’s asked everyone to make a card based on their favourite holiday film. This one took a lot of thought for me, because I couldn’t think of one! Then my husband reminded me of Nightmare Before Christmas and as I really … More Nightmare Before Christmas – MM 256

This was meant to be a quick and easy card. And it sort of was, but then it wasn’t. I almost messed up right at the last hurdle and had to look for a quick fix. See, I finished cleaning my sentiment stamp and set the baby wipe I’d used to one side whilst I … More Merriest of Christmases
As I sat down to write this I took a look at the blog and realised I haven’t made a Christmas card this month! Good thing I made this one today then – wouldn’t want you to feel like I’m slacking on my Christmas cards after all. It’s coming ever closer!
